YMMV / Clean Room

• Catharsis Factor: After all that the Surgeon has done in the series, watching Duncan and the Haverlin brothers beat the ever-loving crap out of him is incredibly satisfying.
• Complete Monster:
  • Derica Mueller, aka the Exalted One, is a powerful, demonic goddess of the void. The daughter of Robert Mueller, Derica has implanted visions of demons and deceased loved ones in the minds of multiple humans, bragging about how many she's Driven to Madness. She forces one of Astrid's guards to commit Psychic-Assisted Suicide in front of Astrid and Chloe, revealing afterwards to be the one sending Chloe visions of her dead husband. Derica ultimately plans to cause immeasurable havoc—-including plane crashes and having the president shoot his wife on live television-—in order to drive humans into chaos so that she and her fellow demons will create a bridge of humans and rule over mankind.
  • Artus Greenhand is a depraved Serial Killer who disdainfully refers to women as "critters" for him to take apart. Obsessed with Clean Room administrator Astrid Mueller, Artus perfects the art of wig making by abducting innocent women and torturing them to death, until one got free and fatally wounded him before dying of her own wounds. Revived by the sinister entities, Artus attempts to seize the Clean Room from Astrid to leave humanity to the hungry entities to devour while he has full power over the room itself, even attempting to leave heroines Chloe and Killian with his past self so he may torture them to death as well.
• Magnificent Bitch: Astrid Mueller is a brilliant young woman devoted to ruthlessly guarding humanity from the Entities. Using the Clean Room, alien technology to peruse the past and memories, Astrid uses blackmail, coercion and manipulation to maintain control. Surrounding herself with loyal men and women, Astrid makes certain they have psychological flaws she can exploit to break them should they betray her, and when her company's board tries to betray her, Astrid outlasts an assassination attempt, turns the assassin to her side and outplays them effortlessly. Astrid proceeds to outwit all the entities, foiling their invasion and even sacrifices her own reputation to keep humanity's innocence at the horrors of the void intact, maintaining a true care for humanity and those around her.
